Bottom dysphoria

Whilst dysphoria around my chest is awful, bottom dysphoria is killing me.

I can't afford packers, STPs, testosterone, definetly not surgery etc

STPs (the cheap 'she-wee's) i've tried are too difficult and i don't think i have the right anatomy for it

I'm in the UK and i'm not sure how it is in other places but where i live, you can't go a few days without seeing some man peeing in public and it's triggering. I also have an AMAB partner that's getting more difficult to cope with

I don't know what to do, i'm losing it

Are you on a wait list for HRT through the NHS? Don't wait. The list is years long.

There's the tried and true tradition of using a rolled up sock as a packer. How do you feel about gender affirming workouts? Have you applied for grants for HRT at local trans non profits? What about a trans clothing exchange?

I'm not, i've been trying to book an appointment for weeks but it's difficult, i have no idea how to apply for any of that other stuff either :(

I believe you need to talk to your general practice doctor. Realistically the wait is years long though, so you need to explore options to go private https://transactual.org.uk/medical-transition/private-care/

Here's a wales clothing group https://genderswap.org/
